Thanks for all this Puppy work! I enjoy using it on my old computer (which I work with daily).

Claws-Mail is an essential piece of software for me. I tried to get the latest version work. So far, no success. Before I will describe the installation steps I tried, isn't is easy for someone who compiles the Puppy if there is a T2 package available of claws-mail ( http://www.t2-project.org/packages/claws-mail.html )?

How can this be achieved to have an update Claws-Mail working with Puppy? If there would be easy steps to follow (mentioning really all the steps including any tiny command, I would be happy to learn to do it as well. )

With Lucy based Puppies I installed the debs and the libraries to make claws-mail work. With Racy I get the error message:

claws-mail: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found (required by claws-mail)

Before that, I installed claws-mail_3.7.10-1ubuntu1~ppalucid0ubuntu1_i386.deb and
libetpan15_1.0-1lucidubuntu4_i386.deb. In racy all the following additional packages where requested on startup of claws-mail (here ordered alphabetically, not in order of request):

Took me a few to hunt down and see why browser icon and menu icons quit.

Code:

#which seamonkey

Did not return anything, like /usr/bin/seamonkey.

Fixed it by uninstalling both installed ppm installs first. Then deleted /usr/bin/seamonkey symlink and created new symlink from /usr/lib/seamonkey 2.3.2/seamonkey ,(made it absolute), which fixed the broken /usr/bin/mozilla symlink also.

Browser Desktop Icon works again after that. Menu internet entries work again also.

Turned off Tap because I haven't figured out yet how to edit sensitivity good enough yet either. All my functions like 2 finger tap=middle click worked OK. My mouse though had a mind of it's own though like a mexican jumping bean.

Ha! Been asking for Claws for a while. One kind soul tried to help me with Claws but it didn't work. Only use Claws & EudoraOSE. There's .pet s for the latter (just sent my copies to 01micko for smokey01 website). Otherwise use Claws in Mint!

I did post this on Barry's blog but maybe he missed it,
I tried compiling metacity, libcanberra, and even lxtask, And nothing would compile, I had hundreds of lines of Gseal errors in each, Here's the link to the sources that failed to compile.

Actually, I have claws-mail working in lucid based puppy ( nowadays Puppy 5.28 and macpup 5.28 ) after having downloaded claws-mail packages from the Ubuntu ppa one by one and adding in one or the other library from the package manager in puppy. Someday earlier, I also went through the process of compiling it in Puppy itself. Both steps are rather lengthy. Thus, I hoped that the T2 package is more straight forward to get it going.

I do like the look and feel of racy though. And in racy wireless internet worked out of the box, which was not the case for me in Wary.

So, if somebody would like to join in getting claws going I am more than happy to provide a head start sending over all the individual deb files (5.6MB). They should also be free to distribute I assume being based on Debian, so I could also upload them somewhere.

Regarding the glibc error with the ubuntu files. I used Lucid files from the ppa. These claws-mail files work fine in 5.28. In racy I also got the same error message when installing umplayer with qt4 from pemasu's polarpup.
